The Weigh Station

So, for giggles, I pulled out the cat carriers this morning. All the cats but Fang really have no idea what a cat carrier is because we generally transport Charmin, 70% and Zig Zag by way of a harness and a leash. The boys, being the curious creatures that they are, each took turns climbing willingly into a cat carrier that was appropriate airline size (read: on the small side). 70% walked in first and then just sat down, yeah, they just have no idea what the carrier is. 70% weighs in at just under 20 pounds. He could fly. 70% was immediately released into the wild that is the big room. Zig Zag hopped int he carrier just as soon as 70% was released. Zig Zag weighs in at 24 pounds. Zig Zag CANNOT fly at this point and he still growing. I opened the gate on the cat carrier and Zig Zag decided to linger in the box. 70% did come over to check on him and lick his head.

Back to weight. All the movers price by weight. Some of them even use an estimate of what our stuff "might" weigh. I continue to get calls from new moving companies based on those three web sites I visited in the middle of the week. So far my favorite company is one in Jersey. The guy that spoke with me was just a typical Philly/Jersey guy complete with a thick accent. (I say this realizing I too have an accent ~ but his was just great). His company is definitely in the running, I don't know if it is because I like the quote or I like the accent :) I guess I'll know more after I call ALL of the movers.
